they eavesdropped on martin luther king and the anti-war movement. secondly, as secret as the nsa is, we know there's serious abuse, in 2011, there was an 86-page ruling from the fisa court saying what the nsa was doing, systematically violated the constitution and the law. ron whiting just this week got james clapper to admit there are numerous violations of the law that the nsa is committing and they try to slough it off and say it's not intentional. it's much more serious than the government is letting on. the problem is, it's all done in secret, the lesson of the united states historically, over the last century, is that if you build the surveillance system and don't have very aggressive oversight it will inevitably be abused. >> not just the lesson of the united states, i would say. glenn greenwald, thank you so much. >>> there are hundreds of complaints of racial profiling by los angeles police officers each year. now the lapd is set to launch an experimental program to confront the cops they accuse of targeting them face to face. it's been tha

this is the stuff that martin luther king talked about about the lips dripping with nullification. here it is talking about the president's entire government. >> nullification is going to come. it's going to be a de facto nullification if it's not legalized. because pretty soon things are going to get so bad that we're just going to ignore the feds and run our own lives and our own states. >> well, you can laugh at that and call it country talk, but this is all over now. this is virginia. then there's this "i" word out there, impeachment. here's david dewhurst, the state's lieutenant government firing up the base at a tea party event last month. >> barack obama ought to be impeached. [ applause ] not only trampling on our liberties, but what we did in benghazi is just -- it's a crime. just a crime. >> okay. so we got hillary's going to be tagged with benghazi. the president is. these are words that are just sort of ticklers out there for people. they just sort of get them. without knowing what they're talking about. what are you talking about nullification for? what are they talkin

it goes back to something we need to talk about, which is martin luther king. he had a vision that was initially unrealistic. if there was cable news news in his time when he was organizing boycotts, restaurant access and federal laws, everyone would have immediately gone to that cynical approach saying this doesn't look likely. therefore we'll talk about it as unlikely and there ever we're going to end up making it unlikely. >> here's the problem, ari. we have just witnessed what some of the best authors and watchers of this congress have described as the most dysfunctional in the history of the house. >> yes. >> so i'm not just being cynical. i'm being realistic. can you imagine section 5 or a new form of section 5 being reconstructed with this house. >> i absolutely can and i worked in the congress and i'm not a fan of going on tv and declaring we should do everything would you feel with no plan. the plan is you take it through the senate where every last republican vote ford it in 2006. the votes are there in the senate. when you go to the house, unlike imm
